I just updated F-Prot Windows from 3.14e to 3.15 and I noticed that F-Prot
Antivirus Update Monitor is always running in the background: FPAVUPDM.EXE

I've never seen this "feature" before and it's a pain on my laptop. It seems
to keep it from going into Suspend mode.

I can't find any way of disabling this feature except in Msconfig.

Then i would remove it. As far as i know there's no real side effect.

Nowhere a disable function in the settings of F-Prot itself, so use
MSconfig.

Thanks for the info but I'm running this on Win98 systems. I'm having
problems with 2 IBM laptops that worked fine before I updated to 3.15!
They both tend to hang going into suspend and don't come back up smoothly
even with FPAVUPDM.EXE removed.

I'm going to send Frisk a message on this.

Great! Just what I needed, another attemp to idiot proof my PC.

Updates come out once a day or even on occasion, every other day. Why does
it have to check for updates every 15 minutes???

*normal* updates come out on that schedule, emergency ones (for worms
that are spreading really fast and can basically 'own' the internet in
under an hour) could come out at any time...

You can disable it by

win98 - delete registry RUN.
winNT/200X/XP - disable in services.

Yes, I know how to disable the beast but I shouldn't have to do that at
all! It should give me a way to choose whether I want the feature setup
during installation and from within the program after it's installed.

Even NAV gives you an easy way to disable automatic Live Update.

Yes, not a good software..
Now I don't known which one is best for power user ???
Maybe none.

I need lite, incremental update, free, heurisit scan, manual update,
right click scan for every files/dir.

Sorry for thje slow response (holiday time!) but i have no idea really.
When i read that my first thought was "want they to crash their own
servers?!" because 15 min. or even every hour seems a little bit
overdone to me.
